This was one of my fastest journal pages to create! I began by adhering a large piece of underpaper onto the page with Traci Bautista’s matte Collage Pauge. This underpaper was just newsprint from my work table – I’d tested some ultra-matte varnish and a new hand-carved stamp on it. I also wiped off paint brushes and my fingers on this so as not to waste any materials that remained on my tools. I loved the way the arrows appeared to be projecting forward in a sky wisped with clouds!Once the Collage Pauge dried completely, I added a layer of gesso around the underpaper. When the gesso dried, I added QoR watercolors in Quinacridone Magenta and Hansa Yellow Medium, then some acrylics, too. I had fun layering the watercolors and acrylics back and forth! Inspired by the art journal prompt, I scribbled in lyrics to Van Morrison’s song Don’t Look Back.
